NANAMo, b. q. May 9.-ThIrty-nve
bodies were found yesterday. Up to
noon sixteen white men had been
brought to the surface. More bodies are
coming up. A shovel was found on
which was written with chalk, "Thlr-
teen hours and now dying In misery"
(Signed) JAS. EVANS.
This was young fellow % years OF
age. These men were evidently con-
soious for thirteen hours after the explo-
sion and some may have survived
five or six hours longer. They were
all found on No. level They had come
rs far as the half way switch and found
the cave in and air bad. They
then Set to work with picks
and shovels and barricaded the passage
TO shut out the after-damp. They re-
turned to the air SHAFT, where fire damp
caught them and all succumbed. rhpy
had tried to barricade this passage also.
but did not succeed very well.
Poor fellows, thew had made n desper-
ate struggle for life. The fire
Is now nearly under control, and It Ia
hoped that all bodies will be recovered
within the next few days. Nothing has
been seen today on the streets but peo-
pie moving resslessly back and forth.

A BAPTISM Unto Death.

New ORLEANS, May GA serious ac-
cident occurred yesterday in the 3rd
district, resulting in the death of several
people. A large crowd had gathered on
the levee to witness the baptismal cere-
monies, under the auspices of the Mount
Zion Baptist church, (colored). The
wharf at that peculiar point
extended out into the deep water
where the current is swift and danger
Gus, A large crowd assembled on this
wharf, when, In the midst OF the exer
cises, the railing surrounding the wharf
gave way, precipitating fully so people
into the Mississippi. Many ships were
anchored near by, and the work of res
cuing the drowning people began.
Seven persons are known to have been
lost, and 1t is thought that from 8 to 6
more persisted. Among the victims
were two women, one white and
one oOlOred; each had baby in her
arms when they fell into the muddy
stream. Both came to the surface
shrieking and lifting their babies above
their heads. Strange enough, both
children were safely rescued by parties
In skiffs, but both mothers were drown
ed. Their bodies were afterwards re-
covered.

HAvRE, May 9.-The steamship Cham
payne, which sailed Saturday for New
York, has returned TO her wharf here,
having been run into by the steamship
Vile de Bordeaux. The latter steamer
sank, but her crew and passengers we're

among the Italians on board the Cham
payne, who made rush for the life
boat and caused 1t to capsIze, 80 of them
being drowned in addition to three sail
ors, who tried to prevent the rush.
The steamer Villede Bordeaux recover
ed fifteen ltalsans olinging to the cap
sized life boat. The collision took place
about noon in q fog. The shock was so
violent that the Champagne was thrown
almost completely over upon the star
board beam. A wide hole, two yards
long, was opened in the larboard side
near the poop, just above water mark.
The captain finding 1t impossible to
return to Havre ran the steamer aground
on a sandy beach in order to save the
lives Of those on board.

Securing Water.

The problem OF getting water has
been solved by the introduction of the
Eclipse wind mill, and while there are
other inventions for the same object, the
Eclipse stands ahead by reason OF its
true economy, its simplicity and its
durability. These wind mills have been
erected in various parts of the state, by
Mr.. +. f. Collins, of l, 3 and West
Houston street, San Antonio, and hun
dreds ofthem are now in operation, do
ing all that Is claimed for them. No
stockman, farmer, or anyone else, need
be without water, and, though of course
there is some expense IN procuring it,
the investment in every case returns a
hundred fold interest. Those interested
should call upon Mr.. Collins, and see for
themselves the advantages OF the
Eclipse. They will find that his factory
is crowded and his employees are busy In
the manufacture of tanks, cisterns,
troughs and other water utensils requis-
lite on every well regulated farm and
ranch. Mr.. Collins can always be relied
upon for courteous reception and hon
orable treatment.
